Official MCW Class of 2009 Thread

Burrell College of Osteopathic Medicine
This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I would like to express my extreme disdain that this new thread was not created by one of us. Sure, they may have murdered our beloved Part II, but that is no invitation for them to birth Part III.

LOL, my dad has been talking about buying a liquor store for the past year or two now. I'm strongly supporting that idea (much to my mom's disdain).

I know. Last time Arsenic left it up to us to create new MCW threads.

The video kinda reminds me of someone in our class. Like someone with a watch that lifts up girls' skirts.
 
I love women's health.

Hey Don, who's writing your MSPE?

I aims to please.

Gotta write a flippin' H&P tonight even though I haven't officially admitted anyone to my unit yet as most of our patients are transfers from the PICU and have already had a big old workup done. To make matters worse their parents are only infrequently there, if that.

So yeah, hurray for the time-honored art of paraphrasing the original H&P.

They don't call him Prowler for nothing. Let me guess, it followed you all over Milwaukee, right?
 
By the way, I saw Horatio yesterday on my way home. He looked pretty psyched to be in the building.

You should go ask him why he never asked you for help with MCAT stuff.

Maybe I should just go in and start asking him for help with my Peds shelf. I could just say I assumed he was Horatio, MD.
 
Hello newly graduated M2's. Hope your rotations are going on great. do u guys thing M2 is way harder than M1. What advice would u give to an M2 and what did u which he would have done.
 
I would say we're newly beaten up m3's rather than recent m2 graduates.


I don't think m2 year was harder, but it was more work. More volume of stuff to memorize and more clinical crap.

I wish I would've kept up better with stuff so I could've made better use of some question books/review books. I always got behind and didn't do those things, and I think I could've had higher grades. Also, really learn stuff this year, not just short-term memorizing. Actually learn the stuff.

You all seem newly minted rather than beaten up.






Speaking of newly minted...I hear that one of next year's M1 girls is a Stoli's vodka model girl. Tremendo scandalo!
 
Question for Xandie, Don, (and Funk)

Peds lectures for inpatient and outpatient students: what to wear? we have some sort of "chair rounds" on 7W also.
 
Wear whatever... most people will be in dress clothes, having come from clinic or wards. People on ER showed up in jeans, sometimes. I'd err on the side of dressing up, since it's early in the year. I didn't start really missing jeans until May or so, and by then I couldn't escape dress clothes.

And Don, mine's Redlich... I didn't actually submit the list because on my machine (yes, it's a Mac), but submit button didn't show up. I'm not sure how he'll be about my little issue I had last year... I'm hoping nicer than I'm expecting a surgeon to be. :scared:

Man up and wear some dress clothes. About time you and your paltry 7 shifts for the entire month had to look dapper and do some learning like the rest of us.

<===Not at all bitter.

We've had a ton of bounce-backs on Psych at the VA, which means I get to do this a lot. It sucks for the patients that they aren't doing well enough to have to be back on the unit, but it sure makes for a nice quick admission note. We're getting hammered right now - Jessen and I are carrying between 3 and 5 patients apiece...I feel like I've learned a LOT in only four full days of working.

Our attending is on vacation this week, and tomorrow our resident is tied up in didactics all morning, so we're on our own. :scared: Hopefully another attending will come rescue us when our team gets an admission.

If you saw the Jeep, then (a. I live within 2 miles of you (b. I stopped by school today to grab my grades, only to find out they'd been mailed to my house over the weekend anyways (but I still had the specific scores in my mailbox).

If you saw any one of a number of other vehicles, we do have clients in Tosa (two of them within two blocks of my apt). We've got about 25 company vehicles now. We just picked up a dual feed wheel wood chipper that can handle a 24" log. I think it was about $35,000.


So our faculty think it's okay to lie: my neuroscience grade report says I did excellent on all of my exams. :laugh: Yeah, I literally missed more on the first exam than I did the rest of the semester. But apparently I beat the mean on the final by over a standard deviation. I really, really needed it too. I made the cut-off by about four questions. Somebody got a 50% on the final, but the low score in the class was still a pass.

where'd you pick up that tidbit?
 
Today in the mail, there was an envelope that had the words "Official Report," and other official-looking phrases stamped on it. I tried not to get too excited, but my heart was definitely pounding as I opened it. Of course, it turned out to be a loan consolidation offer from one of those predatory companies that try to trick you into thinking you need to do something with your loans. Grrrrrrr...

This was up at Swan and Menomonee River Pkwy.

Yeah, Neuro told me I "almost honored" the class. I didn't honor a single test, and I was right in the middle of a HP. I think there's a bunch of altered mental statuses over there.

Hey now. That's a paltry TWELVE shifts, thank you very much. And on top of that next week i'm ENCOURAGED to attend a suture workshop. How inconvenient!!!
 
Spent some time at a Lake Geneva house today. He's throwing a million dollar party in two weeks, so we're there every week, spraying the bejeezus out of everything green there. For last year's party, he out-bid Summerfest for Jimmy Buffet. This year, he built a children-sized village in his front yard that probably cost about five hundred grand. He's got his own orchard, several greenhouses (off-site), and close to a hundred oak trees that we'll be injecting for about $200 apiece. It looks like Monticello, actually, but he only spends about ten days a year at the house. Apparently his fund manages about $3B in assets. Yikes.
 
1:30 on a Friday afternoon that I'm staying late to take admissions on. My team is up for the next admit, too. Sadly, the chances are probably nil that I won't get one, but I just hope they come in early enough so I can finish up before it gets too late.

How's everybody else's rotations going?

I'm just finishing up my lawn mowing rotation, moving into my pesticide application rotation. I'm pretty psyched!
 
2:30 and still no admissions. I'm gonna be royally screwed when one comes in 10 minutes before I'm supposed to leave. Maybe crazy people like to wait until the weekend is over before they present to the hospital. I think I heard a stat about that once, but I doubt it applies to psych patients. Especially VA psych patients.

People with jobs who don't want to go to work on Monday are the ones who present on Sunday night.

Today was an official Psych holiday Friday the 13th. Other holidays include Full Moon nights and Halloween. I was busy today, but even worse yesterday.

As an RN in the ER my mom believed there's something to all of those, and the Rule of 3s.

Oh, the full moon for sure. Btw, your doppelganger is a Tosa policewoman, in case you wanted to know. I saw her today.
 
The coolest anti-smoking advertisment ever. Found in a Dunoon, Scotland high school type school in July 1999.

Attention All Colleagues!!

I have leased a digital video disc (DVD) containing the motion picture (MP) entitled "Snakes on a Plane," (SOAP) a riveting 2006 film featuring motion picture actor Samuel L. Jackson (SLJ). While the plot is apparently too intricate to delve too deeply here (TPIATITDTDH), I am sure all would find it highly entertaining (HE).

If any of you would wish to enjoy this motion picture with me in the comfort of my La-Z-Boy Chair (LZBCh) and/or La-Z-Boy Couch (LZBCo), please let me (ME) know.

I have rum. You would be welcome to bring anything that goes with rum (RUM).

Oh, and indo, why did I get a midnight text message from a female classmate saying you have a huge penis?

Maybe a classmate left her cell phone on the table and I sent a message to the last person to text her. 👍👎

on the record: Because it was friday the 13th.

What were you doing at said classmate's house at midnight on a Friday?

did you realize you were texting me?
 
So today was my birthday, and I spent the entire day at Froedtert. Boy, birthdays sure get sucky in old age.

Went and got a couple drinks after softball last night. Beer never tasted so good.
 
Happy Birthday, April! Yahoo!

I will probably spend the majority of my birthday in surgeries, if that makes you feel better. Rah surgery sub-I. Although I did have it off during third year.
